What type of cot is this

The title given above is what the manufacturer uses, so it is very descriptive. The word ‘folding‘ describes the fact that the cot folds from two sides like a book and it remains quite large when packed as the picture below shows. But it is relatively thin and you can store it in narrow spaces at home or in your car.

This is the Juniper Cot when folded.

The word ‘quickset‘ is related to this folding design because you do not have any assembly. Just unfold it and it is ready in seconds.

The term ‘adjustable‘ is about the backrest or the part of the bed’s head section, on the left in the picture below. So it goes from completely flat as in the picture, to multiple angles of support. This means you can use it as a lounger or as a chair with footrest as well as a standard cot for sleeping.

The flat setup as a typical cot.

This is a padded cot as well, so you have a soft foam inside and you do not need a pad for summer camping.

Who is it for

Regarding the capacity, the declared number is 300 lb (136 kg), so this is quite a modest value but good enough for most of the users. If you need more, you will see some options in the comparison table below.

Regarding the size, this cot is quite impressive. The bed is 79.2 x 29.9 inches (201 x 76 cm) and this is again good enough for many people. But you will have some larger options below.

Weight-wise, with its 18.2 lb (8.3 kg) I would say it is quite reasonable. This is a camping item so you are not supposed to carry it long distances in any case.

So the cot is useful for camping, for hunters, or as a spare bed at home for sudden guests and for emergency situations.

A bit more about materials & construction

This is a powder-coated steel structure, and the fabric is a 600D Shadow Embossed & 840 Velocity Dobby polyester which wraps a foam mattress inside.

The cot is with four legs only so the floor they occupy is less than half the length of the bed. This may be useful if you set it up at home for your sudden guest, the bed can fit above some low objects in the room. On the other hand, the bad thing is that you can sit only on its central part between the legs. The same is if you put some heavier stuff on one end, it may swing in the air.

But the feet are enormous and the cot should not sink easily if used on a soft ground in the camp. This is a pivoting design so they adapt to the ground and also become flat when you fold the bed, see the picture above.

Its capacity is lower, so check the other two if you are really heavy. But Juniper Cot is far more affordable, you will realize this if you check the prices, so please follow the links.
